Ride along with our fast globetrotting friend, Lars van Berkel, on his latest privateer adventure racing across Argentina.
WORDS: Lars Van Berkel

Remember Lars van Berkel? He’s the Dutch beach racer called El Rojo (redhead) who came to the U.S. and Canada last summer to race rounds of both AMA Pro Motocross and the Canadian Nationals. When he told us he was taking another big trip, this time to South America to do a big beach race and the MXGP opener in Argentina, we figured it would make a cool Racer X road trip feature. Take it away, El Rojo!
It’s already mid-March, and here I am, sitting in my room in Argentina, overlooking the sea, writing this article. Just now, the power in the whole village went out. An ideal moment, then, to tell my story and experiences of the past weeks. Because no power here means no Wi-Fi or internet for me, just back to old school typing! This has once again been a journey full of crazy experiences and fun stories for me.
